About Me
Thank you for visiting my official site.
​
Having trained as a classical composer at the Royal College of Music I eventually went on to move into film composing, where I am privileged to have worked on many screen projects, including award-winning independent feature films and short films, with TV credits including documentaries and promotional work.
​
Film work has taken me to Hollywood film festivals with official selections, to working in Pinewood Studios, and to premiers in places like Paris, Milan, London, Marbella and Vienna. I have collaborated with directors and producers from all over the world, including France, Africa, Spain, USA, Malaysia, Austria and Thailand. My music has been on many platforms including Sky One, Sky Sports and Sky News, Channel 4, Sky Arts, Netflix, TV Monde5, Seven Network (Australia) and through on-demand portals including Apple Music, Spotify, Google, Youtube and Amazon Music.
​
As a music producer, I also write and produce songs for films, working with various talented vocalists, be this for full songs or when using live vocals as part of the film score. I also love to work with live solo musicians as you'll hear on some of my soundtracks.
​
Beyond being a composer and music producer, I am also studying mixing and mastering to enable me to deliver the whole process from concept to final product.
As a classical composer, I have written for solo and chamber ensembles all the way to full orchestral works and choral works. These have been performed around the country from Guildford Cathedral to choral societies, to the former Cochrane Theatre in London with the Royal Ballet School.
Drawn mostly to character-driven, and therefore emotive and dramatic film projects, I get to utilise my classical sensibilities often, from romantic to avant garde. However, I also have a passion for fusing classical with electronic music. Writing across many genres demands a broad scope of musical understanding and appreciation. I very much hope all this comes across in the music you listen to here covering drama, horror, thriller, action and more.
As a screenwriter, I have two feature films in development and several other spec projetcs in the pipeline.
